3. Other UMKC compliance committees such as the Institutional Animal Use and Care Committee (IACUC) and Radiation Safety committee may need to review the addition of a student to a project depending on circumstances. These groups may assign additional CITI courses.

3. Student Affairs Approval

Research Administration will check with SOM Student Affairs to confirm the student’s eligibility to participate in supervised research activities.

Students that request an interest in working on research projects – Research Administration will forward the Student Research Info Form to the Faculty Advisors. The Faculty Advisors will attempt to match interested students with a research mentor.

5. Clinical Research - Hospital affiliate requirements

The hospital affiliates have additional requirements for students to be on site and participate in research activities including institutional review board (IRB) review of students’ participation in research activities.

Year 1 and Year 2 Research Experience Form
As referenced in the Yr 1 and Yr2 Student Research Policy, current year 1 and year 2 medical students interested in applying to be paired with a faculty research mentor should complete the FOURCITI research training courses listed above and submit:

Each year 1 and year 2 student applicant will be reviewed by the Student Research Committee for potential placement with a faculty research mentor. The committee reviews student submissions on March 1, July 1 and November 1 each year. Year 1 and 2 students that are selected – will hear from the committee a few weeks after each deadline.

Yr 1 and Yr 2 students are unable to be matched with a clinical research mentor at Truman Medical Center because of the requirement that students have to be escorted at all times at TMC and the hospital is unable to accommodate computer access requests due to licensing requirements.
